Current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations:
All gas appliances must be installed by a competent, registered gas
engineer, such as a Gas Safe registered engineer or British Gas engineer
in accordance with the current regulations.
Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
The appliance must be installed in accordance with, and comply to, the
current:
▶ Gas Safety Regulations
▶ IET Regulations
▶ Building Regulations (England)
▶ Building Regulations (Wales)
▶ Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation)
▶ S.I. No. 183 and 292 - Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations

▶ Health and Safety Document 635 (The Electricity at Work
Regulations 1989) and any other local requirements

law and amended)

Building Regulations Part L1A (Current version) - new dwellings
If the installation is in a new build property or it is a first time installation
in an existing property, the heating systems must conform to current
building regulations Part L1A.
The exception to this are single storey, open plan dwellings where the
living area is more than 70% of the total usable floor area. Then this type
of dwelling can be controlled as one zone.
An alternative would be individual electronically controlled TRVs.
For dwellings with a floor area over 150m
temperature control for each zone is required. It is best practice to fit
Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV's) to all radiators except the area
where the room thermostat is sited.
Building Regulations Part L1B (Current version) - existing dwellings
For appliance replacements on an existing system, it is not necessary to
zone the upstairs and downstairs separately, compliance with the zone
requirements can be achieved by a single room thermostat or
programmable room thermostat.
While the system is drained down, it is best practice to fit Thermostatic
Radiator Valves (TRV's) to all radiators except the area where the room
thermostat is sited.
